The best use of cherubs since Botticelli. Adam Scott plays Ohm Bauman, a cynical, embittered author penning the end of his very popular “Conquistador” trilogy of books. On a whim, he leaves his palatial modern manse in Washington state and heads out to Ireland, to the very hotel his late parents enjoyed their honeymoon. As Damian McCarthy‘s film is a proper Irish horror story, there’s a witch, a cynic and a drunk involved.

This brings us to Adam Wingard’s cinematic embolism, a half-assed ‘80s action/horror homage that works diligently to get its intriguing premise off the ground before devolving into a morass of tired tropes, frenetic sound detonations, and frequent soundtrack needle drops. All with a 7-year-old girl in tow.

It's dull, flat and extremely predictable almost in an insulting fashion.
